Mandatory Fun is fun that is mandatory. On occasion, it is not fun; on other occasions, it is not mandatory.

Lancaster

Mandatory Fun is a slot of time on Friday and/or Saturday evenings between dinner and the dance in which the entire site gathers for a structured RA-made activity. Not always fun or unfun, but never uninteresting (oooh...double-negative). Mandatory Fun is listed as the "All-Site Activity" on the weekend schedule. The activities include the Quiz Bowl finals, Dutch Auctions, assorted game shows, or anything else the RAs feel like doing.

Losing The Game is one of the best parts of Mandatory Fun.

In 08.1, the whole camp was Rickrolled during Mandatory Fun when Ev and Austin lipsynced to "Never Gonna Give You Up" for the Lip-Sync Contest.

Mandatory Fun has also been referred to mockingly by the RAs as Unavoidable Joy and Inescapable Bliss.

Los Angeles

At Los Angeles (LMU), there is Non-Mandatory Fun instead of Mandatory Fun. Despite the name, Non-Mandatory fun is Mandatory. However, in 07.2, Non-Mandatory fun was made into Mandatory Fun by the RAs as a joke.

Other Sites

At some other sites, Mandatory Fun refers to afternoon Activities.
